Vapor Heat Treatment (VHT) Operations

VHT for freshness and flavor   Vapor Heat Treatment Plant

Formerly Pelican Agro Products, Inc., the company's 3,500 square meter heat treatment plant is located at the Food Terminal, Inc. (FTI) complex in Taguig, Metro Manila. Our facilities are capable of processing 12 metric tons for each three-hour treatment cycle.

The VHT process involves sorting of fresh carabao mangos and subjecting them to heat treatment of up to 46 degrees centigrade. Quality control is strictly monitored by ensuring that only fresh mangos weighing at least 150 gm. are wrapped individually and packed.

Individually wrapped VHT-treated mangoes are then packed in 5 kg. carton boxes using the La Novia and Sampaguita brands for the discriminating Japanese market.

Puree / Juice Operations

Modern puree processing   Puree / Juice Plant

Formerly Philippine Far East Agro Products, Inc., our 13,500 square meter puree and juice plant is also located at the FTI Complex in Taguig, Metro Manila. The plant production capacity is one (1) metric ton of puree output per hour.

Our puree facilities can be used for practically all fruits and vegetables. Food products currently processed at the plant include mango, purple yam (ube), Philippine lime (calamansi) and passion fruit.

Pureed products are pasteurized at temperatures up to 90 degrees centigrade using a high heat short time process. The puree is then frozen and packed in 20 kg carton boxes. Our markets include domestic ice cream and juice manufacturers as well as Japan.

The plant's bottling capacity is up to 120 bottles per minute via pasteurization of up to 88 degrees centigrade. Our current product is Drysdale Juices in 250 ml bottles in the following flavors: mango nectar, orange float, apple juice, calamansi juice and gingerade drink.
